03. Digestion Part 2: Understanding Common Gut Imbalances
Apr 1
In part two of our digestion series, Rita and Brittni break down the three Ayurvedic patterns of digestive imbalance — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — and what each one actually looks and feels like in your body. From constipation and bloating to acid reflux and urgent bowels and more, this episode helps you start identifying your own patterns and find a path toward balance.
Highlights:
- The three digestive imbalance patterns and how to recognize them
- Common GI conditions through an Ayurvedic lens: IBS, Crohn's, diverticulosis, GERD & hemorrhoids
- The gut-hormone connection: how digestion impacts estrogen dominance, fibroids, PCOS & more
- Why your microbiome matters — and its link to soil health & environmental toxins
- Low libido as a sign of digestive depletion (and why it's not "just in your head")
- Practical, everyday shifts to start restoring balance: Small changes create big change
